Well I know Father's Day was yesterday but I did not have a chance to post this project this weekend...but I still wanted to share it with you.

This was my husbands 2nd Father's Day and I wanted to do something nice since my baby girl is old enough to actually do stuff with her daddy now. I wanted to stick with a certain theme. Golf was the perfect theme for this since Daniella loves swinging her plastic clubs around the house like it's no ones business (lol)!, and the hubby plays so... why not! I hope you enjoy my project, and don't forget to leave a comment:)

The best part of this Award is that I get to *pay-it-forward* to five other inspiring and trendy blogs of my choice. How cool is that! Here are the blogs that I have chosen! Don't forget to swing by there blogs and check out what these ladies have created:)

Candy Land Theme:I decided to share this picture with you of my baby girl's 1st birthday party. Which shows you my beautiful cake if I can toot my own horn lol! just kidding! Just so you will know my hubby and sister-in-law helped so very much with this cake. This is my other hobby Baking which I love!! Well to be honest I have not make a cake like this since her party it was a little exhausting... but so fun doing the planning. Oh my this party took the energy out of me... let's just put it this way I was planning this since she was 4 months old! Sorry for the repeat I did a little rewind in mind on the day before:)Long story short I decided to take cake decorating classes just for the occasion (by the way that took me 3 long months to complete). So Daniella someday you will be able to read this MOMMY AND DADDY HAD A BLAST!!! Everything on the cake was edible well except the plastic towers. My hubby and I did the arrangements and I made some chocolate lollipops to follow the candy theme... candy canes snowflakes, lollipop pinwheels, gumdrops. All candy used was to represent the theme it was like I was a kid again... oh so fun!!!On to the two big fellows! My hubby the original crafter of the family he has ownership of these two, and of course with the help of my father-in-law. This project took them 88 hours to do...WOW unbelievable right! That's what I said:) What we do for our babies! There was more going on at the party but these two were the big hits, so I hope you enjoyed:) Now planning her 2nd birthday party but this time a little more low key:)

I made this for my hubby for his first Father's Day last year (he is such a hands on daddy(God Bless His Soul:)) Can you believe this was my first crafting project!! This is when I was introduced to the two wonderful ladies at The Memory Garden. I walked in clueless beyond measures and had no idea what to do I knew I wanted to make something I just didn't know what to make! Let me tell you it was mind boggling because I DON'T craft... or so I thought lol!! Then my two new friends gave me a little push into opening my mind and voila! I hope you guys like it, all in all I had a blast:)

I made this good luck card for my sister-in-law for her last year in college. The theme fits perfect since she plays golf for Texas State! Hope you loved it girlfriend!! In case your wondering where I purchased the striped paper... of course from The Memory Garden:)

These boxes were for my aunt for an event they had for volunteers during Teacher's Appreciation Week the theme was Recipe For Success. She bought these little boxes and I just tweaked it up a bit:), and she had the black apron so we just added a few things so it would go with her theme "Made with Love".

This invitation was for my cousins two children that were going to be blessed with there First Communion. The cross that I used was a sizzix die cut that I borrowed from a friend the paper was of course Bo Bunny (because of her I love the Bo Bunny paper with all my heart lol!). I placed basic beige ribbon from Michael's behind the cross. I ran the white cardstock thru my cuttlebug and used the Moroccan Screen A2 folder, then scored two lines right under (just so it wouldn't look funny), and I embossed the Blessed stamp with I believe the name of the powder was hazelnut. Last thing it needed was a little shine so I added a small bling in the middle of the cross. Hope you like it!

I made this Candy Bar back on Oct. 2009 for my niece's 15th birthday party. The material used was basic black satin ribbon, red-black-zebra print cardstock, black vinyl for the monogram (the hubby did that), and red & black feathers. The scalloped circle used on the zebra cardstock was a die cut that I used from the Memory Garden Scrapbook Shoppe (Pharr,TX), also from the shoppe was circle punch used on the red cardstock. I also had takeout boxes to match, guest used these to fill up on the goodies.
